Copper Alloy Pitcher in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2010

Copper Alloy Pitcher in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2010
Copper Alloy Pitcher
South Italian
Made about 1100-1150

Accession # 64.101.1406

The griffins and lions decorating this pitcher attest to the popularity of Islamic designs on luxury goods made during the 1100s in southern Italy, where Byzantine, Muslim, and Western styles of art comfortably coexisted under the patronage of Norman kings.
